Michael Degenhardt Poet Couplet

Hard Work Pays Off

Such little fingers type so slow
I watch along as when he goes
Reports for typing, research too
He’ll get it done, that’s what he’ll do
But, even if it takes all week
He’ll find all answers he so seeks
As 4th grade can be hard enough
He won’t give up on schoolwork stuff
He likes to know he finished well
With a smile he reads, knowing he excelled
